[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I like the idea of language immersion schools in general, but Hebrew doesn't seem like a great choice for a public charter given the low economic value of Hebrew in the global workforce. I am not Jewish, but I would send my kid there if it was my best academic option and the school was strict about no religious content.  I would worry about not being Jewish only if more than 50% of the students were Jewish and then only if I felt my kid would feel like an outsider.  In DC, I doubt that a high performing charter will get such a religious imbalance because of the strict lottery system.  Seats at good schools are just too competitive.  If it turns out to be a low performing school, maybe it will become religiously unbalanced, but then I imagine that even Jewish parents will eschew it. [/quote]

[u]By the way, most Jews in this country go to school where the majority of the school population is Christian-- just some perspective.[/u]  Do you think Jewish children feel like outsiders?  [/quote]

Pinhead.
That tends to happen with minorities.   :roll: [/quote]
